    Another Turbo Fox Build Thread

    When we surfaced the heads, the one on the side that blew had a high spot on the center 2 cylinders. So putting boost to the engine must have been enough to do it in. The finish is a lot better than what ford had on there, here they are ready to go back on. I also bough a set of autolite 24's...

    Part 2 of my build

    Looks like you're on your way to getting this thing done. Let me know how that explorer filter relocation goes.

    The bypass valve is loud enough. And spool depends entirely on your exhaust setup. Oh, and if it matters it makes good power too. Lol.

    That's good to hear. Maybe it will hold together for me this time.

    Mopar power. Lol. So do you still have that grey 4 banner coupe? Is that gonna be the turbo project? I plan to go to john's for the dyno day. With the fox or not. Lol.

    GT40 Motor Finally!

    I think the common thing to do is get a better set of valve springs put on the heads, swap out the exploder cam for a stock HO, or like you said, the trick flow. Then run your electronics/fuel system. Other than that, everything else should work fine.

    Yeah, i'm tired of spending money on it though. I'll tune it and drive it around some, but after that winter is going to set in and it'll prolly be parked for a while. My hobby will switch to getting a cherokee ready for the trail. ;)

    Gotta love summit being so close. I got my gaskets and plug wire stockings in today. Hopefully I can get it back together and start datalogging this weekend. Gotta love summit being so close. I got my gaskets and plug wire stockings in today. Hopefully I can get it back together and...

    They have some templates that zero out a bunch of those spark tables. that way I can just work on tweaking the injector slopes and the maf curve.

    Not yet, my local tuner said has some experience with it. I've been messing with binary editor a little bit too. I'll just have to spend some time over at eec tuning and get the hang of it.

    Dropped the heads off at the machine shop. $70 for a re surface and pressure test, I didn't think that was too bad. I also got my chip from moates today. Installed it this evening. And no tuning laptop is complete without a stig sticker. Lol.

    That's the plan. I need to put away some money for an astro t5 or something, anyway.

    Overheating/Water issues

    That's weird, I'm not quite ready to spring for aluminum heads yet, so i'll give these one more shot.

    Overheating/Water issues

    After you lift a head, I could see there being a problem if a person just threw a new set of gaskets on. But if the heads are re surfaced there shouldn't be any more problems then before, should there?

    I can get pictures of the gaskets. I ran it for a few minutes at most after it blew. Just idling in the shop to figure out what the problem was. I cant say I havent been thinking of alum. Heads and an aftermarket block. Lol. On a good note. My ptp turbo blanket came in today. Pretty...

    Well, I pulled the dip stick and the oil was nice and milky. So I tore it down this afternoon, I guess I'm not good at diagnosing a blown head gasket. Does this piston look like it was getting water to it? I see the clean spot in the corner next to the water jacket.

    I spaced checking the oil. I'll get to it in the morning. The only place I've seen coolant was out of the cap last time I drove it. I'm wondering if I lifted a head and filled the coolant system with air? Maybe its overheating because the t stat is air locked.

    Yeah, I'm still unsure. I did pulled plugs and did a compression test. I didn't see any waterfouled plugs, and cylinder pressuse checked out fine.
